We’re pleased to share that EMX has sold its Moroccan portfolio and entered into a strategic exploration alliance with Avesoro Holdings. This partnership allows EMX to retain long-term upside through royalties, while Avesoro fully funds the advancement of projects in one of North Africa’s most prospective mineral regions.
EMX Sells its Moroccan Portfolio and Forms Exploration Alliance with Avesoro
Vancouver, British Columbia, July 8, 2025 (NYSE American: EMX; TSX Venture: EMX) – EMX Royalty Corporation (“EMX”) is pleased to announce the execution of an exploration alliance agreement (the “Agreement”) in the country of Morocco with Avesoro Morocco LTD (“Avesoro”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Avesoro Holdings LTD, a privately owned, West Africa-focused mid-tier gold producer. The Effective date of the Agreement is March 19, 2025, and key conditions precedent for closing have now been completed. Avesoro Holdings, through its subsidiaries, operates gold mines in the country of Liberia and is looking to expand its operations elsewhere in the region. As such, Avesoro brings high levels of operational and exploration experience in western Africa to the alliance. In Morocco, EMX and Avesoro will work together to advance a portfolio of exploration projects that EMX has assembled and to cooperatively explore for new opportunities.
Avesoro will fully fund the alliance activities, which will include the advancement of certain projects in the EMX Moroccan portfolio, as well as new projects identified by the alliance for acquisition. Under the Agreement, Avesoro will acquire EMX’s operating entity in Morocco (“EMX Corp Morocco”, a wholly owned subsidiary of EMX) that currently domiciles EMX’s exploration projects and its Moroccan exploration staff. Projects slated for advancement under the alliance will be initially designated as Alliance Exploration Projects (“AEP’s”). These will be funded from an annual budget agreed upon by Avesoro and EMX. Once a project reaches an appropriate stage of advancement, it can be converted to a Designated Project (“DP”) and advanced from an independent pool of funding provided by Avesoro.
The initial term of the alliance will be two years but can be extended by mutual agreement. At the end of the alliance term, any AEP’s that have not become DP’s will revert to EMX.
Strategic rationale. The sale of EMX’s Moroccan business unit is the latest example of efficient execution of our Royalty Generation business. The exploration alliance with Avesoro will perpetuate EMX’s upside royalty exposure across a large portfolio of exploration assets in a highly prospective region, while reducing ongoing operational expenses.
Commercial Terms Overview. (all terms in USD)
Alliance stage:
Avesoro has made an execution payment to EMX of $650,000.
Avesoro will provide an initial pool of capital of at least $1.5 million/year to advance the alliance projects and to make new acquisitions within the country of Morocco. The initial term of the alliance will be two years.
Avesoro has agreed to provide the necessary funding to keep the projects in good standing during the term of the alliance.
At any time, Avesoro can elect to deem any of the projects a Designated Project (DP).
Any project that has not been converted to a DP by the end of the alliance term will be returned to EMX.
Designated project stage:
Avesoro will retain a 100% ownership in each of the DPs, with EMX retaining a 2% NSR royalty that is uncapped and cannot be repurchased or reduced.
Each DP will have a minimum $2,500,000 work commitment for the first five years and each DP will be funded from an independent pool of capital.
Commencing on the first anniversary of the nomination of the first DP, EMX will receive a $50,000 advance royalty payment, escalating by 15% per year until the advance royalty payment reaches $100,000.
EMX will also receive additional advance royalty payments for each subsequent project for which a positive feasibility study is delivered. These will begin at $50,000, escalating by 15% per year until the project reaches production or the advance royalty payment reaches $100,000.
EMX will also receive milestone payments of $500,000 for each project for which a feasibility study is delivered, and $1,000,000 for each project that reaches production.
Overview of EMX’s Moroccan Portfolio. EMX has been active in Morocco since 2021, conducting reconnaissance exploration programs that have resulted in the acquisition of 18 exploration projects in Morocco, comprising 860 square kilometers (see Figure 1). These include a combination of gold, copper and other base metal projects that are strategically located in several of Morocco’s key mineral belts, with three projects in the highly underexplored Moroccan Sahara region, 14 projects in the well-endowed Anti-Atlas belt, home to several of Morocco’s most significant mineral deposits, and one project in the High-Atlas belt.
Morocco is emerging as an attractive jurisdiction for mineral exploration and mineral resource development, benefiting from a stable regulatory framework, well-developed infrastructure, and highly prospective geological settings. The country hosts significant precious and base metal mines yet remains underexplored compared to other mining regions.
In advance of signing the Alliance, EMX and Avesoro have agreed upon extensive follow-up programs to continue to advance the projects. Nine of the existing EMX projects will be designated as AEP’s at the onset of alliance activities.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 2, 2025) – EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX) (the “Company” or “EMX”) is pleased to announce the sale of its Nordic operational platform to First Nordic Metals Corporation (TSXV: FNM) (“FNM”), a current partner of EMX and operator on multiple EMX royalty properties in Sweden and Finland. This strategic divestment will include EMX’s infrastructure, exploration equipment and employees in the Nordic countries. EMX views this transaction as highly synergistic, as it will reduce EMX’s operational and administrative expenses while providing additional operational capacity for FNM to advance its Gold Line interests in Sweden and its Oijärvi gold project in Finland, where EMX holds royalty interests. EMX will also be granted future royalty interests on projects organically generated by FNM for a period of five years.
Strategic Rationale and Long-Term Benefits
This transaction is part of a broader initiative to streamline EMX’s global operations and reduce administrative costs while maintaining upside royalty exposure in partner-funded generative exploration efforts. EMX has been conducting generative exploration in the Nordic Countries for over 15 years and has generated a broad portfolio of royalties in the region, which will be retained by EMX. In addition, EMX will be granted future royalty interests on projects organically generated by FNM for a period of five years. This transaction fits EMX strategic objectives and provides an operational boost to an existing partner and operator.
Commercial Terms
As consideration for the sale, EMX will receive staged payments totaling 3.25 million SEK (approximately US$335,000) over a period of two years. The payments will be made in equal proportions of cash and the equivalent value in shares of FNM.
Additionally, FNM will grant EMX a 1% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on any newly generated projects in Sweden and Finland during the next five years.

Summary of Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
Key Strategic Developments
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the period subsequent to quarter end, EMX has completed several key transactions that demonstrate our strategy of incremental revenue growth and disciplined capital management as we move into 2025. These key developments include:
Completed the acquisition of an additional 1% NSR royalty on the Chapi Copper Mine in Peru for a purchase price of $7.0 million, totaling a 2% NSR for $10.0 million, which we expect will begin contributing revenue to EMX in 2026;
Completed the acquisition of a 0.625% NSR royalty interest covering all minerals produced from the Urasar gold-copper project being advanced by Hayasa Metals Inc.;
In April 2025, the Company received an early Diablillos property payment from AbraSilver Resource Corp. totaling $6.9 million;
In April 2025, the Company made a $10.0 million early repayment towards the Franco-Nevada credit facility, decreasing the principal outstanding from $35.0 million to $25.0 million; and
We repurchased and cancelled 1,479,792 shares during the quarter, totaling 5,000,000 common shares repurchased and cancelled, completing the original Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) program. The Company commenced a new NCIB program during the quarter which allows the repurchase and cancellation of an additional 5,440,027 common shares over a 12-month period. Subsequent to the end of the period, the Company repurchased 1,201,892 common shares under the new NCIB for a total cost of $2,493,000.
Outlook
The Company is maintaining its 2025 guidance2 of GEOs sales of 10,000 to 12,000, adjusted royalty revenue of $26,000,000 to $32,000,000 and option and other property income of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000.
Capital Management
For 2025, EMX has established the following capital allocation goals for 2025:
Approximately 20% decrease in operating expenditures when compared to 2024, primarily resulting from a decrease in generative expenditures, weighted toward the second half of 2025;
Continued return of capital through our renewed Normal-Course Issuer Bid program in 2025;
Implementation of a measured and consistent debt repayment strategy; and
Evaluation of a potential revolving credit facility available to EMX to fund royalty acquisitions.
Portfolio Growth
The drivers for near and long term growth in cash flow will come from the material producing assets at Caserones in Chile and Timok in Serbia. At Caserones, Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin”) has initiated an exploration program which is intended to expand mineral resources and mineral reserves while at the same time looking to increase throughput at the plant. At Timok, Zijin Mining Group Co. (“Zijin”) continues to develop the Lower Zone copper porphyry block cave project while continuing to produce from the high-grade Upper Zone. Zijin also announced the recently discovered high-grade Malka Golaja Copper-Gold Deposit south of the Cukaru Peki mine and within EMX’s royalty footprint. Analysis of recent satellite imagery over the Brestovac license, which contains the Cukaru Peki Mine and is covered by EMX’s royalty, shows substantial development of new drill pads with numerous drill rigs visible in the images in the southeast corner of the license where Malka Golaja is located.
We anticipate the recently announced $10,000,000 acquisition of a royalty on the Chapi Copper Mine property in Peru will begin contributing to royalty revenue in 2026. We are excited by the addition of a high-quality copper royalty to the portfolio that has excellent upside development and exploration potential located in the prolific Paleocene-Eocene copper-molybdenum porphyry belt of Southern Peru.
In Türkiye, at Gediktepe, ACG Metals announced that the Sulphide Expansion Project remains on schedule for commissioning in Q1 2026, with no delays or cost overruns, reinforcing Gediktepe’s transition into a long-life, low-cost copper producer.
AbraSilver Resource Corp. continues to advance Diablillos in Argentina and announced that it expects to complete its definitive feasibility study by Q1 2026 and make a construction decision in the second half of 2026. At the Viscaria copper-iron-silver development project in Sweden, the Supreme Court of Sweden announced in April 2025 it will not grant leave to appeal Viscaria’s environmental permit. This decision means that Viscaria’s environmental permit can no longer be appealed and thus gains legal force. Viscaria now has all permits in place to start the construction of the industrial area including the enrichment plant, and to start operations in the mine. These developments are all examples of the upside optionality that exists throughout EMX’s global royalty portfolio.
EMX is well positioned to identify and pursue new royalty and investment opportunities, while continuing to grow a pipeline of royalty generation properties for partnership. As the Company continues to generate revenues from its producing royalty assets as well as from other option, advance royalty and pre-production payments across its global asset portfolio, various opportunities for capital redeployment will be evaluated. Such opportunities may include the direct acquisition of royalties, continued organic generation of royalties through partner funded projects and select strategic investments.
First Quarter Results for 2025
In Q1 2025, the Company recognized $11.4 million and $10.8 million in adjusted revenue and other income3 and adjusted royalty revenue3, respectively, which represented a 38% and 40% increase, respectively, compared to Q1 2024. The increase is largely due to a $1.3 million increase in royalty revenue from Gediktepe and a $1.0 million increase in royalty revenue from Caserones when compared to Q1 2024.

This news release may contain “forward looking information” or “forward looking statements” that reflect the Company’s current expectations and projections about its future results. These forward-looking statements may include statements regarding the future price of copper, gold and other metals, the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources, realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, the Company’s growth strategy and expectations regarding the guidance for 2025 and future outlook, including revenue and GEO estimates, anticipated reductions in operating expenditures, repayment of outstanding debt and the timing thereof, the acquisition of additional royalty and royalty generation interests and other investment opportunities, the purchase of securities pursuant to the Company’s NCIB, exploration and development plans at the Company’s royalty properties and the expected timing thereof or other statements that are not statements of fact. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, identified by words or phrases such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “intends,” “strategy,” “goals,” “objectives,” “potential,” “possible” or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events, conditions or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on a number of material assumptions, including those listed below, which could prove to be significantly incorrect, including disruption to production at any of the mineral properties in which the Company has a royalty, or other interest; estimated capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns; estimated metal pricing (including the estimates from theCIBC Global Mining Group’s Consensus Commodity Price Forecasts published on March 3, 2025), metallurgy, mineability, marketability and operating and capital costs, together with other assumptions underlying the Company’s resource and reserve estimates; the expected ability of any of the properties in which the Company holds a royalty, or other interest to develop adequate infrastructure at a reasonable cost; assumptions that all necessary permits and governmental approvals will remain in effect or be obtained as required to operate, develop or explore the various properties in which the Company holds an interest; and the activities on any on the properties in which the Company holds a royalty, or other interest will not be adversely disrupted or impeded by development, operating or regulatory risks or any other government actions.
Certain important factors that could cause actual results, performances or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, amongst others, failure to maintain or receive necessary approvals, changes in business plans and strategies, market conditions, share price, best use of available cash, copper, gold and other commodity price volatility, discrepancies between actual and estimated production, mineral reserves and resources and metallurgical recoveries, mining operational and development risks relating to the parties which produce the gold or other commodity the Company will purchase, regulatory restrictions, activities by governmental authorities (including changes in taxation), currency fluctuations, the global economic climate, dilution, share price volatility and competition.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the impact of general business and economic conditions, the absence of control over mining operations from which the Company will receive royalties from, and risks related to those mining operations, including risks related to international operations, government and environmental regulation, actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, risks in the marketability of minerals, fluctuations in the price of gold and other commodities, fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, stock market volatility, as well as those factors discussed in the Company’s MD&A for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and the most recently filed Annual Information Form (“AIF”) for the year ended December 31, 2024, actual events may differ materially from current expectations. More information about the Company, including the MD&A, the AIF and financial statements of the Company, is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the SEC’s EDGAR website at www.sec.gov. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are contained or incorporated by reference, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Future-Oriented Financial Information
This news release may contain future-oriented financial information (“FOFI”) within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, about prospective results of operations, financial position, GEOs and anticipated royalty payments based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action, which FOFI is not presented in the format of a historical balance sheet, income statement or cash flow statement. The FOFI has been prepared by management to provide an outlook of the Company’s activities and results and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including the assumptions discussed under the headings above entitled “Outlook” and “Forward-Looking Statements” and assumptions with respect to the future metal prices, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, realization of mineral reserve estimates and the timing and amount of estimated future production. Management does not have, or may not have had at the relevant date, or other financial assumptions which may have been used to prepare the FOFI or assurance that such operating results will be achieved and, accordingly, the complete financial effects are not, or may not have been at the relevant date of the FOFI, objectively determinable.
Importantly, the FOFI contained in this news release are, or may be, based upon certain additional assumptions that management believes to be reasonable based on the information currently available to management, including, but not limited to, assumptions about: (i) the future pricing of metals, (ii) the future market demand and trends within the jurisdictions in which the Company or the mining operators operate, and (iii) the operating cost and effect on the production of the Company’s royalty partners. The FOFI or financial outlook contained in this news release do not purport to present the Company’s financial condition in accordance with IFRS, and there can be no assurance that the assumptions made in preparing the FOFI will prove accurate. The actual results of operations of the Company and the resulting financial results will likely vary from the amounts set forth in the analysis presented in any such document, and such variation may be material (including due to the occurrence of unforeseen events occurring subsequent to the preparation of the FOFI). The Company and management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management’s best estimates and judgments as at the applicable date. However, because this information is highly subjective and subject to numerous risks including the risks discussed under the heading above entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” and under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s public disclosures, FOFI or financial outlook within this news release should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company has included certain non-IFRS financial measures in this press release, as discussed below. EMX believes that these measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. These non-IFRS financial measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.
Non-IFRS financial measures are defined in National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure (“NI 52-112”) as a financial measure disclosed that (a) depicts the historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of an entity, (b) with respect to its composition, excludes an amount that is included in, or includes an amount that is excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of the entity, (c) is not disclosed in the financial statements of the entity, and (d) is not a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation. A non-IFRS ratio is defined by NI 52-112 as a financial measure disclosed that (a) is in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation, (b) has a non-IFRS financial measure as one or more of its components, and (c) is not disclosed in the financial statements.
The following table outlines the non-IFRS financial measures, their definitions, the most directly comparable IFRS measures and why the Company use these measures.

Cash flows from operating activities
The Company believes this measure more accurately depicts the Company’s cash flows from operations as the adjustment is to account for cash flows from a material asset.
Gold equivalent ounces (GEOs)
GEOs is a non-IFRS measure that is based on royalty interests and calculated on a quarterly basis by dividing adjusted royalty revenue by the average gold price during such quarter. The gold price is determined based on the LBMA PM fix. For periods longer than one quarter, GEOs are summed for each quarter in the period.
Royalty revenue
The Company uses this measure internally to evaluate our underlying operating performance across the royalty portfolio for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA represents net earnings or loss for the period before income tax expense or recovery, depreciation and amortization, finance costs. Adjusted EBITDA adds all revenue from the Caserones Royalty less any equity income from the equity investment in SLM California (Caserones Royalty holder). Additionally, it removes the effects of items that do not reflect our underlying operating performance and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. These may include: share based payments expense; unrealized and realized gains and losses on investments; write-downs of assets; impairments or reversals of impairments; foreign exchange gains or losses; and other non-cash or non-recurring expenses or recoveries.
Earnings or loss before income tax
The Company believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are widely used by investors and analysts as useful indicators of our operating performance, our ability to invest in capital expenditures, our ability to incur and service debt and also as a valuation metric.
Working capital
Defined as current assets less current liabilities. Working capital does not include assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale
Current assets, current liabilities
The Company believes that working capital is a useful indicator of the Company’s liquidity.

These forward-looking statements may include statements regarding perceived merit of properties, exploration results and budgets, mineral reserves and resource estimates, work programs, capital expenditures, timelines, strategic plans, market prices for precious and base metal, or other statements that are not statements of fact. When used in this news release, words such as “estimate,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will”, “believe”, “potential” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which, by their very nature, are not guarantees of the Company’s future operational or financial performance, and are subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause the Company’s actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and factors may include, but are not limited to unavailability of financing, failure to identify commercially viable mineral reserves, fluctuations in the market valuation for commodities, difficulties in obtaining required approvals for the development of a mineral project, increased regulatory compliance costs, expectations of project funding by joint venture partners and other factors.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this news release or as of the date otherwise specifically indicated herein. Due to risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties identified in this news release, and other risk factors and forward-looking statements listed in the Company’s MD&A for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 (the “MD&A”), and the most recently filed Annual Information Form (“AIF”) for the year ended December 31, 2024, actual events may differ materially from current expectations.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 27, 2025) – EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX) (the “Company” or “EMX”) is pleased to announce that its royalty partner at Timok in Serbia, Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. (“Zijin”), released their “Annual Results Announcement for the Year Ended 31 December 2024” on March 23, 2025. This report showed a significant increase in copper and gold resources and reserves at Cukaru Peki in comparison to results published for 2023. The 2024 report also described a new exploration discovery at Timok called the Malka Golaja Copper-Gold Deposit (also referred to as “MG Area” in previous disclosures), which is located approximately seven kilometers to the southeast of the Cukaru Peki Mine. Zijin included this statement in their 2024 Annual Results Announcement:
“The preliminary exploration at the high-grade Malka Golaja Copper-Gold Deposit at the deep part of the metallogenic belt of Timok, Serbia was completed. According to the report under the JORC Code prepared by a team of competent persons, the cumulative identified copper resources amounted to 2.81 million tonnes with an average grade of 1.87%, and gold resources of 92 tonnes with an average grade of 0.61 g/t. In addition, the deposit remains open at the periphery, indicating significant potential for mineral exploration.”[1]
The resource numbers reported by Zijin for copper and gold are for tonnes of contained metal, which equate to approximately 150 million tonnes of mineralized material averaging 1.87% copper and 0.61 g/t gold. Further, the Malka Golaja resource numbers published by Zijin were not categorized in their disclosure to National Instrument 43-101 or JORC, so EMX is assuming without access to the data that the resources are at the level of confidence and entirely classified as inferred resources, which represents the lowest level of confidence under CIM 2014 and JORC resource categories[2].
Based upon EMX’s reviews of satellite imagery and the locations of drill sites as observed in the field, the Malka Golaja deposit appears to be covered by EMX’s Brestovac royalty interest. EMX senior management also recently completed a site visit to the Cukaru Peki mine and met with Zijin representatives for an update on Zijin’s mining activities at Timok. EMX congratulates Zijin on its outstanding work at Timok, including the rapid advancement of the Cukaru Peki operations and the novel discovery at Malka Golaja. The Malka Golaja discovery represents a significant development for both Zijin and EMX as a royalty holder.
EMX currently holds a 0.3625% NSR royalty over Zijin’s Brestovac exploration permit area (including the Cukaru Peki Mining Licenses), as well as portions of Zijin’s Jasikovo-Durlan Potak exploration license north of the currently active Bor Mine. EMX also owns a 2% NSR royalty on precious metals and a 1% NSR royalty on base metals on the Brestovac West License, which lies immediately adjacent and to the west of the Brestovac Mining License and the Cukaru Peki Mine. All of EMX’s Timok royalties are uncapped and cannot be repurchased or reduced. The Company is currently receiving quarterly royalty payments from Zijin for copper and gold production from the Cukaru Peki Mine.
Dr. Eric P. Jensen, CPG, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and employee of the Company, has reviewed, verified and approved the disclosure of the technical information contained in this news release.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 26, 2025) – EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX)(the “Company” or “EMX”) is pleased to announce that, after its successful completion of its Normal Course Issuer Bid (the “Original NCIB”) on January 8, 2025, it has received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) of its Notice of Intention to commence a new NCIB (the “New NCIB”) and a new automatic stock purchase program.
Under the Original NCIB, the Company repurchased and cancelled all of the 5,000,000 common shares (the “Shares”) allowed for a total amount of $8,255,000 or $1.65 per share, which represented approximately 4.45% of its issued and outstanding shares at the time of commencement.
Under the New NCIB, the Company may purchase for cancellation up to 5,440,027 Shares, representing approximately 5% of its issued and outstanding Shares as at April 1, 2025, over a twelve-month period commencing on April 1, 2025. The New NCIB will expire no later than March 31, 2026. In any event, EMX cannot purchase more than 2% of the issued and outstanding shares in any 30 day period.
In connection with the New NCIB, the Company is initiating an automatic stock purchase program with its designated broker in compliance with applicable securities law and the rules and policies of the TSX-V, in order to purchase all or a portion of the Shares under its NCIB at times when the Company would not ordinarily be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading policies or otherwise.
EMX believes that from time to time, the market price of its Shares may not reflect their underlying value and that the purchase of its Shares will enhance shareholder value and increase liquidity of the Shares. The Company intends to fund the purchases out of available cash.
All purchases made pursuant to the New NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX-V, NYSE American Stock Exchange (“NYSE American”), other designated exchanges and/or alternative Canadian trading systems or by such other means as may be permitted by applicable securities laws. The New NCIB will be made in accordance with the applicable rules and policies of the TSX-V, NYSE American and applicable Canadian and United States securities laws. The price that EMX will pay for Shares in open market transactions will be the market price at the time of purchase. Any Shares that are purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled. The actual number of Shares that may be purchased and the timing of such purchases will be determined by the Company. Decisions regarding purchases will be based on market conditions, share price, best use of available cash, and other factors. The Company is not obligated to purchase any particular number of Shares under the New NCIB and the New NCIB may be modified or suspended at the Company’s discretion.
EMX has appointed National Bank Financial Inc. to make purchases under the NCIB on its own behalf.
